Pros

some of the best things about penn state are its stability and certainty in keeping jobs in state college. the people do make it a great place to work. we work together as a team. people generally like working with one another. the vision to reach students is uncompromising and fufulling. i'm not sure there is another college or university out there that reaches as deeply into the community and the state itself. there is growth (although slow at times). the benefits package is incredible. it makes up for dismal salaries and smaller chances to advance. advancement is heralded, but not seen frequently.

Cons

salaries are terrible (but probably on par for the education market). there is a TON of favoritism.

Pros

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Cons

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.
